Bishnoi attacks Shah, set to snap ties with BJP

August 28, 2014

Chandigarh, Aug 28: The Haryana Janhit Congress (HJC) is likely to formally the break its alliance with the BJP, which has reportedly been ignoring party chief Kuldeep Bishnoi post his defeat in the Lok Sabha polls.bishnoyi

The last straw, HJC sources said, came two days ago when BJP president Amit Shah refused to meet Bishnoi in Delhi. Sources said that Shah kept Bishnoi waiting and later went to attend a meeting, which infuriated the HJC leader, leaving him little choice but to decide to part ways with the BJP. A formal decision in this regard is likely on Thursday.

“Those who are claiming to have a wave in the country should explain why they lost all three seats in Uttaranchal and lagged behind in Bihar,” Bishnoi said Wednesday.

“Shah is claiming he would get Haryana its share of water. I declare that in case he gets Haryana its share of Satluj-Yamuna Link Canal waters, we will merge the HJC with the BJP,” he added.

New Delhi, Mar 5: Retirement fund body EPFO on Thursday lowered interest rate on provident fund deposits to 8.5 per cent for the current financial year, said Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar on Thursday.

The EPFO had provided 8.65 per cent rate of interest on EPF for 2018-19 to its around six crore subscribers. The decision was taken at a meeting of the the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation's (EPFO) apex decision making body -- the Central Board of Trustee.

"The EPFO has decided to provide 8.5 per cent interest rate on EPF deposits for 2019-20 in the Central Board of Trustees (CBT) meeting today," Gangwar told reporters after the meeting here.

Now, the labour ministry requires the finance ministry's concurrence on the matter. Since the Government of India is the guarantor, the finance ministry has to vet the proposal for EPF interest rate to avoid any liability on account of shortfall in the EPFO income for a fiscal.

The finance ministry has been nudging the labour ministry for aligning the EPF interest rate with other small saving schemes run by the government like the public provident fund and post office saving schemes.

The EPFO had provided 8.65 per cent rate of interest to its subscribers for 2016-17 and 8.55 per cent in 2017-18. The rate of interest was slightly higher at 8.8 per cent in 2015-16.

It had given 8.75 per cent rate of interest in 2013-14 as well as 2014-15, higher than 8.5 per cent for 2012-13.
